Sunbury Road Bridge in Galena, currently under construction, will close to all traffic for approximately 36 hours starting Friday 9/6 at 6 pm for crews to pour concrete for the second half of the bridge deck. The closure is necessary to allow the concrete to cure without damage from traffic loads. The bridge will reopen to westbound only traffic (as currently operating) on Sunday at 6 am. Crews will then have approximately 3 weeks of work remaining before the bridge will be fully reopened to two-way traffic.
08-01-2013: Panhandle Road Bridge to Close 8/5 for 5 days:
The Panhandle Road bridge over Olentangy River (just east of US 23) will close for 5 days starting Monday, August 5 to repair damage to the guardrail from a crash.

07-19-2013: Intersection of SR 315 and Orange Road to close July 29 for 5 weeks:
The intersection of State Route 315 and Orange/Carriage Roads will close July 29 for about 5 weeks to allow for construction of a new roundabout at this intersection. A previously considered plan would have closed SR 315 for 7 days but left Orange and Carriage Road closed for 60 to 75 days. The revised plan will complete the entire project in half the time. The posted detour route uses SR 750 (Powell Road) to US 23, and the reverse. The roundabout project will be followed by a short term closure of SR 315 south of Home Road for replacement of a culvert. After the culvert project is complete, ODOT will close SR 315 for 60 days north and south of SR 750 (Powell Road) for construction of turn lanes and stabilization of the embankment near the river. Access to local properties will be maintained at all times. You can find more information about all three projects here.
